The bill would knock down key pillars of the president’s healthcare law, including the individual and employer mandates and the so-called Cadillac tax and the medical device tax. It would also halt funding to Planned Parenthood for one year.

“We have a responsibility to use every tool we have to dismantle this flawed healthcare scheme, and the bill before us today will do just that,” Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), who leads one of the committees charged with drafting the bill, said.

“This bill does not repeal all parts of ObamaCare but it certainly repeals egregious parts of it,” he added.

Republicans have hailed the rarely used reconciliation process as a way to make President Obama answer for his healthcare law. Under the Senate’s rules of reconciliation, the bill can make it to the president’s desk without being subject to a Democratic filibuster, forcing a veto.

Before the vote’s passage, House Republicans spent two hours railing against nearly every part of ObamaCare in floor speeches and making an argument that reconciliation was the best approach available to attacking ObamaCare.

“This bill does not accomplish everything we need to do to right the wrongs of ObamaCare, but it is a strong step in the right direction,” Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), who is co-chair of the House Doctors Caucus, said from the floor Friday.

“By using the process of reconciliation to repeal the most damaging effects of ObamaCare, we’re keeping our promise to the American people to protect them from this fatally flawed law,” Roe said.

The attacks on ObamaCare were met with forceful defenses from Democrats, who used their time to criticize the GOP as taking on ObamaCare while threatening to let the country default on its debt.

“Here we go again with again, with the 61st time repealing ObamaCare,” Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said from the floor. “Give us a break, it’s a waste of everybody’s time.”

“Essentially what we’re now facing is the dangerous bankruptcy of this majority party in the House of Representatives,” Rep. Sandy Levin (D-Mich.) added.
